CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-THE grain and provision
markets to-day were very discouraE n TO specu-
lators the evil Influence being depression in
stocks. making operators tiinld and sulky in
remarkable dulluess. The wheat market opened
at about Yesterday closing prices There was
continuous saggiug al the ciornng, aad during
the last hall hour, when certan traders, disap-
pointed in their expectations If profit on earlier
purchases and apparently wolr-e by weakness
in the stock market, attempted to get out,
prices fell away until 4 decline from the open
ing prices OF $s0l3sc was scored. The market
at D. m was weak AT the lowest point Of the
session. On afternoon hoard there was u 4c
reaction, Corn showed some Slort-lved
activity and strength at the opening on account
of light receipts 316 cars, being 80 less than
was expected and q liberal mo, ene.it outward,
the inspection sueet showing $1,000 bushels
corn inspected out of store and shipments OF
994, OO5 bushels being reported from Chicago.
There WAS also a fair demand tor cash property
early. Opening prices were the hi chest Of the
session. however, except for May, which ad-
vanced 1lC, then the demand for cash corn fell
off on account of the scarcity Of vessel room
here, aud tn. refusa! OF the Grand Trunk road
to accept any more corn for lake and rail ship
ment on account of the lack of cars and the
market sagged. The loss on the day was 40
Sc Tuere was not a large volume Of business,
the or eater part OF trading being done by the
Hutcninsons' brokers. The close was at frac-
t.onal advance from the lowest point. Oats
were dull ali around Speculative orders were
light, and there was less than the usual ship
ping demand for cash oats. A weak feeling
prevailed for everything but October which
ruled steady, while other futures declined, and
Mt D. m were about Lc lower. At afternoon
session Nc of this was recovered. Provisions
were weaker and prices shade lower. Receipts
of hogs were larger; light hogs higher. Trading
IN products was moderate and cuieiy local, ana
fluctuations narrow. January pork received
tar attention. Cash lard vas firm.
